The little siege of the Hall had been going on four days, when Colonel Forrester, who had been with the relieving party, found his son contemplating the ruin. "Yes," he said, "it is bad; but better so than that these Royalists should be destroying our home, my boy." "Is it, father?" said Fred, doubtingly. "Is it, sir? Of course.
Belle turned to him now. If any one knew the underworld of the South Ward it was he, and what he didn't know he had means to find out. She openly, frankly, told him all she knew and suspected. He heard her at first doubtingly, then with growing interest, then with a glare of intense attention and conviction at last. His eyes twinkled knowingly as she expressed her opinion of the attorney.
You see, I am going to take a holiday, and I have a fancy that our ideas on the subject of holidays might not exactly agree." "A holiday," she repeated. "I am not sure do you know, Julien, I sometimes believe that I have never had a holiday in my life?" He looked at her doubtingly. "After all," she continued, "can't you see that I have come here to ask you one question?
Even now when directly required to speak, she seemed to hesitate, nor did she open her lips until the profound silence told her how anxiously her words were expected. Then, indeed, she spoke, but it was doubtingly and with reluctance.

When I sat down near the nest she grew very uneasy, and after trying in vain to decoy me away by suddenly dropping from the branches and dragging herself over the ground as if mortally wounded, she approached and timidly and half doubtingly covered her eggs within two yards of where I sat. I disturbed her several times to note her ways.
I want to be bourgeois and everyone treats me like like a rich American. Shall I never escape?" she sighed. "To-morrow " said Markham through a cloud of smoke. "To-morrow you shall be a vagabond. I promise you." And, as she still looked at him doubtingly, "You don't believe it? Then look!" He brought out his hand from a pocket and laid some money on the table. "That's all I have, do you see?
He will be delighted to meet a friend, for he is very much in want of one, sir." "I do not know him, my child; but I should be happy to make his acquaintance." The girl was surprised to learn that her father's benefactor was a stranger to him, and looked doubtingly at him for a moment but only a moment and then ran briskly up the stairs, asking him to follow.
"Ah, then, you do admit, do you, that you love him?" the other flung at her. "Say it to me! say it to me!" he charged, and he half closed his eyes; "or by Heaven!
